The smoked pepperoni is excellent. The pastries and bread are also great. I can't comment on the pizza, but it looks good.

Everything here is delicious. Can't go wrong with a sweet treat or pizza and wings. I recently tried the medium Stromboli it was the size of half the pizza box and was amazing! The owners are so sweet and kind. Just remember cash or check when you go here!

I was so excited by the yummy food and cheap prices I forgot to take pictures! Definitely a spot to go for a treat! Everything smelled so good. We got an eclair, an apple turnover, a lemon cookie and a half moon. It's been a challenge not to devour it all in one sitting. I look forward to coming back to try their homemade breakfast sausage!

This is simply the BEST bakery I've been to in the US. They have a large selection of baked goods but also carry various meats and cheese and can do cakes and pizza to order. The best part about this place is the prices. $2 for a chocolate dipped almond horn (the best I've had since being Italy) is a STEAL! If you are jn town, you have to go. If your within an hr of this place, it's worth the drive!

My sister took me here and I went all the time once a week to get her favs on pay day. Almond crescent cookies shaped into a half moon. Half and half cookies were mine. All the treats and even different pastas to buy was great. Nice place variety. Even the pizza

Best bakery in Central New York. Old school family owned Italian bakery...support local businesses! Slices are delicious and huge! Best Napoleon pastry I've ever had...always something new to try...I'm never disappointed and you won't be disappointed either. Friendly fast service.

I coordinated with the bakery to have a cake made for my gender reveal party. Christine was easy to communicate with and she made it very easy to arrange the cake, which was great because I live out of state and only made a trip to the area for the party. The cake turned out beautifully and was delicious. It was the center of my reveal party and I could not have asked for a better experience! Thank you!

Fresh sliced meats and cheese at crazy great prices? Wow!! Yes, yes and yes! I wanted to grab some fresh meat and cheese for sandwiches and my aunt suggested this place. I grabbed salami and provolone, freshly sliced on order. Then I grabbed a loaf of delicious italian bread and had them slice it for me also. It made for some great sandwhiches, small enough sized bread to not make full sandwiches but some great 4 or 5 bite sammies. Then we grabbed a few black and white cookies (at a great price also). Everything was delicious and they were the perfect solution to my hunger problem.
